Joining a GoToMeeting session is easier than ever with Chrome’s “instant join.” Invitees to GoToMeeting events will either receive the meeting ID to be entered at GoToMeeting.com, or they will receive an email with a meeting link. Once the ID is entered, or the meeting link is clicked, they will instantly join the GoToMeeting session. Attendees will be given the option to use VoIP or computer audio, or they can call in with any number that the organizer has provided.
Once in the meeting, they will use the control panel on the right to participate in the meeting. If the organizer has begun sharing their screen, attendees will see what the organizer is showing. If the organizer has not begun screen sharing, attendees will see a waiting room screen.
We recommend using a wired headset for optimal audio quality. It’s best to turn of any other wireless devices nearby, as this can sometimes interfere with the audio signal. With GoToMeeting, joining a meeting is simple, as online meetings should be.

GoToMeeting gives you all the tools you need to help make presenting easy. Sharing your screen in a GoToMeeting session allows you to present your entire screen, a document, a spreadsheet, or anything else you’d like your attendees to view. Just click the “Screen” button to get started. You can choose to share one or more of your monitors or even a single application. You can also whos a clean window desktop to hide icons and the taskbar. You’re also able to blank out the desktop background so that your attendees’ focus remains on the content you are presenting.
How to Make Another Attendees the Presenter
As an organizer you can make another attendee a presenter at any time. The presenter will then be able to pass control back to the organizer, or can choose someone else to present after them. Attendees who are asked to present will be asked to confirm before their screen is shown. You also have the option to request keyboard and mouse control.
Other Tools
Presenters can also use the drawing tool to draw directly on the screen so that the marks are visible to all attendees. An organizer can also give attendees the ability to use the drawing tools on their own screens. This allows participants to highlight areas and draw attention to certain parts of the screen to help illustrate their points.

Attendees can join GoToMeeting from a Mac by navigating to GoToMeeting.com, entering the meeting ID, and clicking join. Attendees may have received an email invitation to a GoToMeeting session. Those attendees will simply click the link provided them in that email. If the organizer has the web app enabled, attendees will join meetings instantly from their browser with no download required. If the attendee will be presenting at the meeting, or would like all controls available, they can easily download the full desktop version of the GoToMeeting software. This is a seamless transition, and attendees will not need to leave the meeting in return.
Once in a meeting, the attendee control panel is on the right, and the viewer window (what the organizer is showing) is on the left. This viewer window can be expanded or moved around to your liking. The control panel allows attendees to mute themselves, expand or collapse the control panel, show their webcam if desired, change screen size, and chat with others in the meeting. When the meeting is over or you need to leave the meeting, simply click the red button at the top of the control panel.

Sharing your screen is easy and intuitive with GoToMeeting, making it one of the best screen share programs. Whether you are the organizer of a GoToMeeting event, an invited presenter, or an attendee who has been made presenter, it is easy to share what you would like with GoToMeeting. Once in a meeting, the organizer will have a slightly more robust control panel on the top right. This includes options for showing their screen. If an attendee has been made presenter, their control panel will adjust to include these options.
All screen sharing options can be found under the dropdown that looks like a monitor. Click on the “screen” dropdown, and your options are as follows: show everything on your entire screen, show your entire desktop with a clean screen without icons at the bottom, or show only a specific program you have open.
How to Change Presenters & Share Keyboard and Mouse Options
Changing presenters and sharing keyboard and mouse options are also listed in this dropdown. Whether the organizer is presenting, or an attendee has been made presenter, these options will be available to both of them.
